Installing and Deploying a Solution Package
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction "SilentlyContinue"
Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath "C:\Solutions\WingtipDevProject1.wsp"
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction "SilentlyContinue"

Retracting and Removing a Solution
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction "SilentlyContinue"
$SolutionPackageName = "WingtipDevProject1.wsp"
Uninstall-SPSolution -Identity $SolutionPackageName -Local -Confirm:$false
Once you’ve retracted the solution using the Uninstall-SPSolution cmdlet, you can then remove
it by calling Remove-SPSolution, which instructs SharePoint Foundation to delete the solution
package file from the configuration database.

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction "SilentlyContinue"
$SolutionPackageName = "WingtipDevProject1.wsp"
$solution = Get-SPSolution | where-object {$_.Name -eq $SolutionPackageName}
# check to see if solution package has been installed
if ($solution -ne $null) {
# check to see if solution package is currently deployed
